The last few Christmases, she's been blowing a lot of money on gifts for my husband, me and the kids. By February, she'll usually ask me for a little help to cover her bills. I know she feels Christmas is the one time she can really spoil us, but I'm worried she may be digging herself into a money pit. What can I do? -- Janice, California Dear Janice: I think your mom and I have something in common. We are people-pleasers. It's easy for us to go overboard trying to get approval. Take her out to lunch, and tell her you understand that things are tight since your dad is gone and it makes you uncomfortable when she spends a lot on you. Gently turn the conversation to the coming holidays. Ask her to help you teach the kids that sometimes the best gifts aren't wrapped up in a box. Years from now, they won't remember the gifts she gave as much as the time she spent with them. One idea might be for her to give them individual gift certificates for "My Special Day with Grandma" doing just what they love to do with you. As for you and your husband, if she has a possession that you love dearly, suggest she give that to you tives for shots and routine care. For for Christmas.

The count will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on December 14. Participants can join in for the full day, half a day, or just a few hours. Counters should meet in Mineral at the Lassen Volcanic National Park headquarters in the lobby of the administration building at 8 a.m. The bird count is open to everyone in the community and surrounding areas and no prior birding experience is needed.
